Allied Minds - FY21 to see benefits of commercial progress

In its strategic update, management highlighted robust commercial progress across the majority of Allied Minds’ portfolio in FY20 (notably at Federated Wireless, BridgeComm and Orbital Sidekick), expected to be reflected by multiple funding rounds in FY21. Spin Memory was the exception, where, although technical progress has been made, six to nine months of commercial progress was lost with the closure of its foundry due to COVID-19. Together with the unexpected loss of a government bid, management now anticipates a down round for Spin Memory in FY21 at a ‘significantly reduced valuation’. With estimated parent cash of US$20.4m at year end, Allied Minds remains sufficiently capitalised. As a floor, our estimate of parent cash (6.2p) plus our estimate for Federated Wireless (23.9p fully diluted) underpins the current share price (32.3p at close on 6 January 2021). Even entirely setting aside Spin Memory, Allied Minds’ remaining holdings plus parent cash total 43.1p.
